Di Donna Galleries is hosting an exhibition “Nuvolo and Post-War Materiality 1950–1965” at the gallery’s New York location. Curated by renowned art historian and theoretician Germano Celant, the exhibition sheds light on the early career of Italian painter Nuvolo (né Giorgio Ascani; 1926–2008), who was deemed as the pioneer of screenprinting techniques.

After his stint in the Resistance in World War II, the Umbria-born artist moved to Rome and began to explore his artistic instincts with influence from artists who also shared his artistically progressive investment towards unconventional materials and techniques.
